Takara Sushi - Burnaby, British Columbia

Cute little sushi place with nice decor near Boundary. Really liked their spicy salmon roll probably one of the best I’ve had at any restaurant. Also got the dragon roll and squid karaage which were solid. Reasonable prices on par with other sushi places. Will come back again!

Really great sushi restaurant, wonderful menu and the sushi was super fresh and tasty. Service was also fast. I recommend maybe having a reservation a bit of busier day

Consistently good quality and fresh ingredients used in their sushi. Pricing is a bit higher than your budget Japanese restaurant but you do get what you pay for.

Finally made it! Mind you not dinner but lunch. Service is impressively quick. on Didn't have to wait long for our boxes! Was quiet for a Wed but I am not complaining. Will try to fight the crowds to experience the dinner hype!

Late meal with Takara… I always meant to come by here but whenever I have time, it’s either closed that day or I am too late. Finally managed to sneak away myself for a last minute date with Takara to see what she’s all about. This place is located on the south side ... of Canada Way close to Boundary Road. I managed to find free street parking in front. Inside can be described as a small little cozy place with about 10 tables and a 1/2 dozen seats along the bar. The little meal I ordered for myself; 1. Small hot sake. Just the generic one 2. Soft shell crab. Personally, a little bit too much batter and the batter was a bit too elasticity to my liking. 3. Oyster motoyaki. Basic straight to the point the way I like it sometimes; fresh oysters nicely baked thoroughly on their shells, caramelized little crust on top, and on a little bed of sliced mushrooms and spinaches. Loved it!! 4. Assorted sashimi. Everything was decently fresh but considering they were smaller bite size portion, a better chef’s choice would’ve been nicer for $35. 5. Tuna toro, ikura, uni, tamago nigiris. Everything was decently fresh and tasty. Overall, pretty much a straightforward little cozy Japanese restaurant. The food was fresh and tasted okay for what they were, but always room for improvements. The staffs and servers were friendly and informative of the food being served. It’s a nice little cozy place to enjoy a bit of casual sushi if you are in the area. However, if you are looking for money value with generous portions then I suggest somewhere else such as Sushi Garden or Sushi California, etc… A repeat for me whenever I crave for some oyster mototaki or uni… solid 3 stars Read more
